Shedeur Sanders Makes Brother Shilo Fear for Life as Browns QB Gets Trolled for Speeding Tickets

Things aren’t getting any easier for Shedeur Sanders this offseason. What started with a draft slide is no longer the focus of his headlines. First came the QB competition with the Browns, then the trade rumors, and now, the #Legendary QB is getting tackled by legal troubles. Set aside the criticism, he’s now even catching strays from his brother, Shilo Sanders.

Shedeur is two for two this month. And we’re not talking TD passes. But the speeding tickets this June. The first came on June 5th at Brunswick Hills as Shedeur sped at 91 mph in a 65-mph zone. Cut to a few weeks, and it happened again. In Strongsville, Shedeur was going 101 mph in a black Dodge TRX. He was notably 40 mph over the limit in this instance. With a 4th-degree misdemeanor count, the rookie QB is set to face court on 3rd July with fines.

So, no wonder Shilo’s being extra careful in his own ventures. In the latest edition of his Tampa Food Tour on YouTube, while en route to get some primetime grub, the Bucs’ rookie took a little dig at his bro. Crossing the street with a serious expression on his face, Shilo dropped a cold one-liner and then burst out laughing. “We’ve got to be careful crossing the street, especially when Shedeur’s out here.”

Shilo, being the older brother, often takes little digs at Shedeur. Back in May, Shilo said in an interview that Shedeur has been calling him a lot more than usual these days because he is missing his older brother. Shilo had even told Shedeur jokingly, “Yo, bro, you messing up my study session.” Nonetheless, this latest brotherly joke might hard to Shedeur as he’s already trying to make amends.

At David Njoku’s charity softball game, Shedeur owned up to the situation and said, “I made some wrong choices, and I’ve got to own up to them. You know, I’ve made some not great choices… I learned… I learned.” The good thing is that the NFL legend Asante Samuel‘s also in his corner.

“Every mf player speeds. This is normal athlete behavior, but because his last name is Sanders, the haters want to bring as much negative attention as possible. I never seen a community want to tear a player down like we are witnessing.” That’s Samuel being real. But some might call it him being overprotective because those some are not letting Shedeur off the hook.

Shedeur Sanders catching heat for speeding

In an already crowded locker room, the speeding tickets certainly didn’t help Shedeur’s QB1 quest. And with the criticism growing around him, people are calling him out now more than ever. Mark Schlereth, on The Stinkin’ Truth Podcast, didn’t hold back as he broke down the entire Sheduer Sanders saga. “I get it. Like, it’s like to me you just failed another intelligence test [Shedeur’s speeding tickets].” Schlereth also took shots at Shedeur’s ‘Legendary’ brand, saying, “Nobody’s ever called you legendary except yourself. That’s a major taboo. Right? That in and of itself is kind of douchy.” But Schlereth wasn’t the only one who was disappointed with Shedeur’s legal troubles.

NFL legend Shannon Sharpe also added his own take on his Nightcap podcast. For Sharpe, Shedeur’s last name comes with a whole host of responsibility and expectations to live up to Coach Prime’s name. As Sharpe put it, “You got to realize you’re Shedeur Sanders. Yep, you know what comes with that last name. You know who your father is… You will probably get criticised, scrutinized a little bit more than another 21, 22, 23-year-old would. And his last name isn’t Sanders… his father isn’t Coach Prime.” The weight of the Sanders name has weighed down on Shedeur all his life. Expectations naturally run high if you have the prime-time genes, and while praise might come hard, scrutiny and criticism come faster than ever.

Even Browns insider, Mary Kay Cabot, didn’t shy away from calling out Shedeur for speeding. “That’s reckless behavior. It’s dangerous… And I don’t care what anybody says, that is not what you want from your rookie quarterback. That’s not a good look.” Shedeur was gradually getting the Browns locker room in his corner, but with this latest incident, the tables may have turned against him again. How he navigates these criticisms and comes out on the other side, we’ll only have to wait and see. For now, his Browns career has gotten a whole lot more complicated than before.
